“We are excited to learn about WPC’s conservation efforts in the French Creek region," which Joyce calls home. "Western Pennsylvania is one of the most beautiful areas in the eastern U.S. and we are delighted to join the Conservancy in protecting our magnificent landscapes.”

“When we first moved here in the mid-1970s, we quickly noticed that most of the places we cared about, such as Fallingwater, McConnells Mill, and the Laurel Highlands, were places that the Conservancy cared about as well. Over the years, we have noted many other examples, including the community gardens.”

“We are deeply committed to helping conserve the natural beauty of Western Pennsylvania. The Conservancy transforms the region on many fronts – land and water conservation, and community gardens and greenspaces. I am pleased to play a role in shaping the region’s future through serving on the Conservancy’s board of directors and through financial giving.” ”
